Introduction to Fungi

The fungi (singular, fungus) include several thousand species of eukaryotic, spore bearing organisms that obtain simple organic compounds by absorption. The organisms have no chlorophyll and reproduce by both sexual and asexual means. The fungi are usually filamentous, and their cell walls have chitin. The study of fungi is called mycology, and fungal diseases are called mycoses. Two major groups of organisms make up the fungi. The filamentous fungi are called molds, while the unicellular fungi are called yeasts. The fungi are classified in the kingdom Fungi in the Whittaker five-kingdom system of classification.

KEY CONCEPTS

1. Kingdom Fungi (the true fungi) is a monophyletic group of eukaryotic heterotrophs that reproduce with spores and have chitinous cell walls. The most familiar fungi are kitchen molds and mushrooms. The kingdom may include 1.5 million species, of which about 80,000 species have been named and described.
2. Some fungi destroy crops and stored food. Others are valuable decomposers or symbionts that cohabit with algae and cyanobacteria or assist plant growth. Baker's yeast is a fungus, and penicillin is a fungal product.
3. Most fungi develop a mycelium, composed of branching threads (hyphae) that collect nutrients and produce reproductive structures. Some fungi have a simpler thallus or live as microscopic unicells (yeasts). Dimorphic fungi make both mycelia and yeasts
 4. Many fungi make asexual spores to multiply and sexual spores for diversity. Exceptions include mushroom fungi, which use sexual spores to multiply, and mitosporic fungi, which have not been observed to reproduce sexually. However, nearly all tested fungi show signs of recent genetic recombination.
 5. Two large phyla (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) contain 95% of named species in kingdom Fungi and are informally called dikaryomycetes because their sexual life cycle has a unique dikaryotic stage. The remaining 5% of named species are divided between three phyla (Glomeromycota, Zygomycota, and Chytridiomycota) and are informally called coenomycetes because their hyphae lack the regular septation found in dikaryomycetes.
6. Kingdom Fungi excludes some organisms that traditionally are called fungi, and adds other organisms that were previously left out. New studies are changing classification within the kingdom.

Etawah- Pilot Project

Etawah Pilot Project E tawah Pilot Project    The idea of starting this project was co↳ nceived and born in 1947. It was put into action with headquarters at Mahewa village about 17 miles from Etawah (U.P.) in September, 1948. First 64 villages, which were then increased to 97, were covered under this project. Lt.col. Albert Mayer of USA, who came to India with the American forces in 1944, was the originator of this project for his scheme, assistance was given by USA and UP Government. The second name of this project is "Average district project". By name it seems that this is a representative district on the basis of resources criteria; so that successful programme should be adopted in all places easily. It was conceived in 1947. But it was started in September 1948. This project was initiated in the guidance of Lt. Colonel Albert Mayor who had come to India with American armed forces in 1944, and had background of this type of work in USA. Mr. Harace...

Water Absorption

Absorption of water Agriraghv Water in the atmosphere😊 The electromagnetic interactions with ice, snow, and clouds are determined by the refractive index and absorption coefficient of pure ice plus the reflectance, absorbance and transmittance effects of grain size (for snow), bubbles (for glacier and lake ices), brine inclusions (for sea ice) and impurities (for clouds) [ 3580 ]. Clouds contain smaller ice crystals than snow plus dust and soot. The spectrum of ice resembles (but is not identical to) that of water (see  below ) except in the far-infrared, microwave and radio-wave regions (particularly <~20 cm -1 ). The grain size of snow determines its reflectance with larger crystals showing poorer reflectance (poorer aldebo) and greater absorbance. Ice is blue (like liquid water, see  below ) but snow is white. Snow and ice are transparent to radio waves with radar able to determine ice-sheet thickness. Ordinary ice is birefringent . Active absorption ...
